Fabricate quantum devices using UHV‑based nanofabrication and deposition processes
Drive process development and transition of mature processes into the POR
Monitor, control, and maintain fabrication process flows, with a focus on improving process quality and control including yield tracking, data analysis, and continuous improvement initiatives
Support root cause analysis or failure mode investigations related to device quality and fabrication processes
Troubleshoot operational issues and participate in planning and execution of UHV tool maintenance
Must embody our Culture and Values
Requirements:
MSc with relevant experience or PhD in Materials Science, Engineering, or Physics
Significant hands-on experience with UHV-based nanofabrication and process development of superconducting and/or semiconductor materials
Experience with superconductor and/or semiconductor materials characterization techniques used to assess structural, interfacial, and electrical performance relevant to process quality and device behavior
Demonstrated experience as process owner for UHV deposition tools, including maintenance planning, tool qualifications, and change control
Self-motivated, with a strong sense of ownership and the ability to deliver results in a highly challenging environment
Ability to generate insight from data and apply data-driven decision-making
Excellent oral and written communication skills in English, with strong teamwork capabilities
Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to work effectively across cross-functional teams
